Abstract

The object of this research is the issue of the relevance of village government authority to the occurrence of village boundary disputes between Pakan Dalam and Paramaian villages in Daha Utara sub-district, Hulu Sungai Selatan district, South Kalimantan province, Indonesia. Under the authority of the village government. The method used in this research is the Empirical Legal Research Method, by digging field data into the research location with technical data collection by in-depth interviews with related respondents, then analysing using related legal regulations and applying the legal theories relevant. The results showed that there was a dispute process that occurred and lasted a long time from 2008 to 2020, which experienced a long process in its resolution. The government took an important role in its resolution. The cause of the dispute is that it begins with the existence of oil palm plantations in the area, the existence of this oil palm plantation has led to the birth of various interests, including the interest in land ownership for community members in these villages because it is closely related to the acquisition of company land for the land of the community members who are in the Company's HGU area. This has the potential to increase the economic value of the residents' lands, besides that it is also relevant to the administrative authority of the village government between the two villages in dispute.
